tonsillectomy a permanent solution to cryptic tonsils?
Anyone who had cryptic tonsils? I am talking about the ones that create the bacteria (tonsiliths/tonsil stones, what ever you want to call it). these terrible things smell like death themselves, and kill the breath. I always have sore throats, but not bothersome. I was told a tonsillectomy is the end all cure. I had the procedure done on 4-16-08, the doctor said that it should rid the problem for good. I would like to hear success stories with those who used a tonsillectomy for this very problem. I had the electrocaudery method, so its has very little chance for tonsil re-growth. if removal will stop me from being sick all the time, then is worth it. For those who can relate to my problem, did a tonsillectomy cure the death breath? Is having a tonsillectomy the permanent answer to the solution to problem? For those don’t know about tonsils stones. its the job of the tonsil’s collect all the bad junk. If cryptic or chronically ill they don’t do their job properly. Thanks

Wow, your case sounds EXACTLY like mine. My tonsils were so bad that they TOUCHED when I would get a sore throat. They always got food particles stuck in them too. It was very gross and nasty and no matter how many times I brushed my teeth, sometimes I couldn’t get the taste of what I just ate to go away. I got sick at all times of the year because they would constantly get sore and swollen and get infectious. When I went and saw the ear, nose, and throat specialist he said that they were on the verge of rupturing and needed to be removed immediately. I told him about all the food particles getting stuck and how I thought it was always Strep due to the white “bumps” on my tonsils. I tried to pop them once and this food particle came out and it was nasty.
Anyway, I signed up for surgery. I was a little apprehensive because it was my first surgery ever and I was 21. After the surgery, my throat hurt like a mild sore throat for a week and a half, but the doctor gave me plenty of Lortab to keep it under control. 1 year later, I think it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I only got sick once this whole year and it wasn’t related to my throat. I haven’t had a problem with bad breath at all. It’s fantastic. There’s no way I’d have them put back in.
You made a good decision. You won’t get sore throats…for a long time…if ever. I haven’t had one in a year where I would get them probably about 10 times a year. And no more bad breath associated with it.
